This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new algorithm to detect duplicate and fake currency notes in Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). The proposed algorithm involves ATMs reading the unique number on each note deposited and storing it in a central database connected across all ATM networks. When a note is withdrawn, its number would be checked against the central database to detect duplicates or notes not in the valid numbering series. This would help eliminate fake notes from circulation and improve security, reliability and customer satisfaction with ATM transactions.

ABSTRACT
In this modern age we all aware about the Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Cash
Deposit Machines (CDM). However the problem like fake note detection is not perfectly solved.
This paper suggests a simple algorithm to be implemented in the Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
to detect the fake notes in ATM across the country. The proposed algorithm makes ATM more
efficient and reliable system.

INTRODUCTION
ATM machine made money withdraw process a very easy task. ATM machine proved
successful due to its simple operating process. In addition to ATM many ideas and projects have
been suggested and design for the Cash Deposited Machine (CDM). Both i.e. ATM as well as CDM
machines is flexible for Bank and their depositors. We may observe that people are moving toward
ATM machine and now a day’s becomes habitual. This study finds that customer face main
problem of fake currency note withdraw from the ATM machine and Banks refused to accept the
truth that customer gets those notes from their ATM machines. This paper deals with the elimination
of fake note problem in the ATM machine and CDM machine itself. In section II we discuss the
existing ATM machine. Section III discusses the proposed system. Section IV discusses the
advantages of proposed system and section V describes related future work.

EXISTING ATM MACHINE
An ATM system is a real-time front terminal of automatic teller services with the support of a
time
central bank server and a centralized account database [1]. The existing machine is simple in
operating which follows basic steps that includes insertions on ATM card in machine enter PINmachineselect money to be withdraw-exit. ATM machine also offers check deposit facility, the amount to be
exit.
deposited by cheque is asked by ATM machine and then check is to be deposited in the cheque box.
d
In addition to these, according to [2] State Bank of India has recently launched a new ATM machine
named “Bunch Note Accept” which is imported from US which costs 14Lakhs per machine. Th
The
feature of this machine is that user logins with the traditional method using the debit card and the
opts for Deposit. Then the deposit counter is opened and requests the currency to deposit. The
denominations accepted by the machine are 100s, 500s and 1000s.

Step 2. ATM machine reads this card and check it with Bank server.
Step 3. And now ATM waits to enter the transactions request.
Step 4. User may use ATM now and transact.

The above algorithm and flow chart describes the operation of ATM during withdraw of
ation
notes from the ATM machine by the customer. However the machine doesn’t know that the note is
customer
t
fake or original notes. Notes are loaded or deposited in ATM by the bank authority person and that
notes are then made available for customers for further transactions. This paper suggests some
modification in the existing algorithm which is applicable during the process of deposition of notes
in the ATM machine by the bank authority person. The algorithm is described in the section III

PROPOSED WORK
The proposed work is design to enhance security and satisfaction of the customer by avoiding
any fake note during withdraws from the ATM. In addition to existing facilities supported by ATM if
we made some modification such that ATM machine reads the number available on each note and
stores in its database during the deposition by the bank authority. The entire ATM network (each and
every ATM machines belonging to all banks) should be centrally connected. As we know that
CURRENCY NOTE consists of a unique number. According to suggested algorithm in this paper,
ATM machine will store currency note number, and that will be circulated over the entire ATM
network which is centrally connected. Now consider a scenario that any ATM machine will find a
note number that is already exist in the network, and then Machine will give an alert and at the same
time the location of another same note number containing ATM machine. Such mechanism and
modification should be developed in the ATM.
It may possible that the fake note doesn’t have any mach for its number in the entire ATM
network. To avoid this problem the note issuing authority e.g. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should
store all available note number series in the central ATM server. If any note found which is out of
series will be proceeds for verification and crash.
The Algorithm and flow chart for proposed ATM model used during deposition of notes by the
bank authority is as follows:
Step 1. Bank authority User accesses his account using Access card through ATM machine with help
of PIN.
Step 2. ATM machine reads this card and it checks the PIN with Bank server through dedicated
network and allows access if the PIN is correct.
Step 3. Bank authority now deposits the notes into the ATM and activates the note number reading
mechanism.
Step 4. ATM stores all notes number in its own database and starts comparing with the central server
database.
Step 5. The central server compares the requested ATM database with all another ATM database in
the entire network and confirms all unique notes numbers and now it respond to the respective ATM.
Step 6.1. If any note found match in another ATM machine then discard both the notes and report to
respective ATM maintenance authority.
Step 6.2. If any note found mismatching with the existing note number series then discard the note.
Step 6.3. If all note numbers are unique and belong to note number series of issuing authority then
accept all notes.
Step 7. Now required notes deposition is successfully done.

Advantages of proposed system
1. Each and every currency note will be link to central RBI server database and hence duplicate
note tracking will be easy.
2. Nobody can introduce a duplicate currency note in the market and increases security.
3. Costumer will get 100% reliable note from ATM.
4. Currency checking makes ATM more efficient and reliable.

FUTURE WORK
Future research could focus on design of perfect currency note number reading mechanism.
Additional study should be done on ATM network and server according to proposed system in this
paper.

CONCLUSION
The system proposed in this paper makes ATM and hence banking system more reliable with
improvement in service quality. Banks will get advantage of portable device other than ATM based
on the proposed algorithm for checking the fake note. With this proposed system the fake notes can
be completely eliminate from the market and banks can provide the best quality services to
customers.
